27.06.060 Executing a Search Warrant.
Except as otherwise provided in this rule, a search warrant shall only be executed between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. and within 10 days from the date of issuance. If reasonable cause is shown and an appropriate provision in the warrant exists, the judge issuing the warrant may, by endorsement upon the face of the warrant, authorize its execution at any time of the day or night and may further authorize its execution after 10 days from the date of issuance.
(1) The executing officer may be accompanied by any other authorized person(s) as may be reasonably necessary for the successful execution of the warrant with all practicable safety.
(2) The scope of search must be limited to those items authorized by the warrant and is reasonably necessary to discover the persons or things specified in the warrant. Upon discovery of the persons or things specified in the warrant, the police officer shall take possession or custody of them and search no further than under authority of the warrant. If in the course of the search the officer discovers things not specified in the warrant, which the officer has probable cause to reasonably believe to be subject to seizure under CTC 27.06.020, the officer shall apply for issuance of a warrant before taking possession of the thing(s) discovered.
(3) Unless otherwise specified by the warrant the executing officer shall, before entering the premises, give appropriate notice of their identity, authority, and purpose to the person to be searched, or to the person in apparent control of the premises to be searched.
(4) Before undertaking any search or seizure pursuant to the warrant, the executing officer shall read and give a copy of the warrant to the person to be searched, or to the person in apparent control of the premises to be searched. If the premises are unoccupied or there is no one in apparent control, the officer shall leave a copy of the warrant suitably affixed to the premises.
(5) The officer shall give a receipt for any property taken to the person to be searched or to the person in apparent control of the premises to be searched a receipt for any property taken. If the premises are unoccupied or there is no one in apparent control, the law enforcement officer shall leave a copy of the receipt suitably affixed to the premises.
(6) The executing police officer and other officers accompanying and assisting them may use the degree of force against persons, or to effect an entry, or to open containers, as is reasonably necessary for the execution of the search warrant with all practicable safety.
